1:27pm, 5 July 2025【Football】

Golden Globe Award, the highest honor in the football world, is the award that every player dreams of. The 2024 Golden Globes competition is extremely fierce, and the names of stars such as Mbappe, Ramina Yamal, and Kilian Mbappe frequently appear in the headlines of major media. Among them, Paris Saint-Germain's Ottoman Dembele is undoubtedly one of the biggest favorites. However, his biggest obstacle may come from the competition of his teammates.

Part 1: Dembele's brilliant season

This season at Paris Saint-Germain, Dembele's performance was perfect. He not only helped the team win the Ligue 1, French Cup and Champions League titles, but also contributed 33 goals and 15 assists. This series of data not only breaks his personal record, but also makes him the absolute core of the team.

Especially after Mbappe left the team, Dembele quickly took over the offensive banner and became a key figure under Luis Enrique. His breakthrough ability and shooting accuracy have been significantly improved, and the former "questioned player" has now transformed into the soul of the team.

Part 2: The Golden Globe Award selection criteria and Dembele's advantages

The Golden Globe Award selection is mainly based on three criteria: personal performance, team honors and sportsmanship. In these three aspects, Dembele has shown strong competitiveness.

First of all, in terms of personal performance, Dembele's data is impeccable. His outstanding performance in various competitions, especially his MVP performance in the Champions League, has won him countless praises. Secondly, in terms of team honors, Paris Saint-Germain's triple-champion achievement is even more icing on the cake. In the end, Dembele's spirit of fair play on the court also added a lot of points to him.

Part III: Potential Threats of In-Squad Competition

However, the biggest challenge facing Dembele may come from his own teammates. The team pointed out that other PSG players such as Vitinia, Ashraf, Donaruma and Nuno Mendes are likely to enter the top ten in the Golden Ball. This dispersed votes may adversely affect Dembele's final vote.

Similar situations occurred in last year's Golden Globe Awards. At that time, Vinicius finally ranked second because of the number of votes of Real Madrid teammates. If this happens again, Dembele's Golden Globe dream could be seriously threatened.

Part 4: Challenges of other candidates

In addition to competition within the team, other candidates should not be underestimated. Young Ramina Yamal made his mark this season with his outstanding performance, and Mbappe still maintained his top level despite transferring to Real Madrid. The rise of these young players will undoubtedly add more variables to Dembele's Golden Globes path.

Part 5: Dembele's future and possible breakthroughs

The next Club World Cup will be an important opportunity for Dembele to further consolidate his position. If he can continue to perform well in the Club World Cup, it will undoubtedly add more chips to his Golden Globe campaign. At the same time, how to deal with internal competition and external pressure is also an important issue that he needs to face.

Conclusion: The complexity and suspense of the Golden Globes competition

To sum up, Dembele is undoubtedly a strong contender for the 2024 Golden Globes. However, the team's scattered votes and the challenges of other candidates have made the competition full of uncertainty. Let's wait and see if the French star can finally win this trophy that symbolizes the highest honor in football.
